I'm from Texas as well. I received a voicemail from this number yesterday that was about a minute and a half of him breathing, whispering my name, and weird computer sounds. He then called a couple hours later and I picked up. It was a similar story to what has been posted on here... he knew my name and said "You know who I am. I'm the boyfriend of one of your girlfriends" and he said he just needed someone to talk to. He didn't really whisper and actually started getting frustrated and yelling at me to think harder because I wouldn't play along and guess who he was. And then he said he was sorry for calling me and hung up. Pretty creepy, especially if that's not his real number! I think he must have gotten my name and number from my university directory. He had a slight accent, maybe Indian?
What the hell this just happened to me about 10 mins ago. He said he got into a situation and he needed to talk to somebody. I asked who it was and he also told me to "think family." It was very very creepy.
I live near Missoula, Montana. I got the same call many of you are talking about at 6:30 in the morning. He called my cell 3 times in a row (and heard my voicemail, so that's probably where he got my name). I finally picked up, and he gave me a spiel similar to what you guys are saying. He wouldn't tell me who he was, he kept trying to lead me in to telling him who he was. "I'm so embarrassed, you're the only one I can talk to. Think of a boyfriend of one of your girlfriends." I didn't hang up right away because I was curious where it was going. I really hope no one does fall for whatever scam this guy is doing. I reported it.
